Newstar 12V 20Ah VRLA AGM Battery (NP12-20Ah)
Ideal for
Overview
When a fire panel, UPS string or telecom cabinet needs more standby time than an 18 Ah battery provides, the Newstar 12 V 20 Ah adds about 11% more capacity in the same 181 x 77 x 167 mm size. No new enclosure or bracket is needed.
M5 bolt-on terminals give a secure, low-resistance connection for high currents. Its low 12 mΩ internal resistance and 300A maximum discharge current carry heavy loads the moment the mains drops. Two in series make a 24V supply for 24V fire panels. Its sealed AGM construction means no water top-ups and no routine checks. BAM supplies it wholesale to integrators, fire and security installers, MEP contractors and FM companies across the UAE and GCC.
Built for uptime, not for the shelf
What the 12V 20Ah means for your site, your project and your team.

About 11% more capacity than a 12V 18Ah in the identical 181 x 77 x 167 mm size.
Secure bolted connection
M5 bolt-on terminals give a firmer, lower-resistance connection than push-on tabs.
Handles heavy loads
Low 12 mΩ internal resistance and 300A peak discharge carry high currents the instant the mains drops.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Message our sales team on WhatsApp.
Can I replace a 12V 18Ah with this battery?
Yes, in most cases. It has the same 181 x 77 x 167 mm size and M5 terminals. Check that your charger and battery calculations allow for 20Ah.
Can I use two in series for a 24V system?
Yes. Two 12V 20Ah batteries in series give 24V 20Ah. Always replace both together, using batteries of the same model and age.
Which terminal does it have?
It comes with M5 bolt-on terminals, either T3 (bolt and nut) or T12 (threaded insert, tightened to 3.0 ± 0.6 N·m). Check which your cabling needs before ordering.
What charger settings should I use?
For standby use, float charge at 13.60–13.80V at 25°C with a maximum charging current of 6A.
How long will it last?
The design floating life is 5 years at 25°C. Higher temperatures shorten it, so install away from heat sources.
What does the warranty cover?
Standby (backup) use only, where the battery sits on float charge and discharges during power failures. Cyclic use, such as golf trolleys, scooters or solar, is not covered.
Do you deliver outside the UAE?
Yes. We regularly supply customers across the GCC, Africa and Central Asia. Tell us your destination and we will include freight options with your quote.
